OF MICE & MEN IN CONCERT:
SoCal metalcore favorites Of Mice & Men have established themselves as one of the genre’s hardest-hitting live acts, consistently flooring fans with their aggressive sound and adrenaline-filled performances on tour. Former Attack Attack! frontman Austin Carlile is as ferocious as ever at the group's live shows, leading his motley crew through decibel-shattering sets of breakneck tunes while fans jump, thrash, and mosh with reckless abandon. From the hair-raising growls and screams of "Bones Exposed" to the bludgeoning drums and guitars of "You Make Me Sick", this is a can't-miss concert experience for fans of brutal metalcore mayhem.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Of Mice & Men formed in Costa Mesa, CA in 2009 and hit the ground running, writing and recording their self-titled debut album and shooting two music videos that same year. The record peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, drawing the band out for extensive touring including stints on the Squash the Beef and Vans Warped Tours. Lead vocalist Austin Carlile left the band for most of 2010 to undergo heart surgery, but he returned in 2011 with more energy than ever, leading the band on another year of tireless touring in support of their sophomore album The Flood. After several years on the road the band released their third album, 2014's Restoring Force, a critically acclaimed collection of songs that topped both the Hard Rock and Indie charts. An unstoppable live act known for their savage energy and blistering sets, Of Mice & Men shake ticket buyers to the core every time they take the stage.
Austin was amazing. Even though he has an infection in his left ear which is deaf, he powered through the show in pain. Some were saying he cut the show short, but he did not. He slayed the crowd with all their hits, the band was awesome, and this guy is a great frontman who screams his heart out. He loves his fans and it shows.
How do you describe the most perfect evening? Warm Southern Cali night, four awesome bands, a great venue loaded with excited fans, time with friends, throw in some Hollywood greats, and music that is still beating in your soul days later. Now that is what makes UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES.
Amazing concert all bands were fantastic i cant wait to see them again
this show was simply amazing. Of mice and men sounded great and there was a lot of pit movement. I didn't particularly like the other bands but of mice and men was so great that that didn't matter.
Sound was loud without being ear shattering. Bands were friendly and each interacted with the crowd. Each band played 6 - 8 songs.
This was an awesome concert but the patrons are ridiculous
Was the sickest show ive been to this year. Of mice and men never disapoints
This concert was incredible. Everyone sounded amazing and was pleasing to the eye. Worth every penny.
The show was fantastic I really only went to the show to see IWrestledABearOnce and Of Mice and Men. I was surprised when That's Outrageous and I See Stars played. They put on one hell of a show. I loved seeing IWABO it made my night complete.
It's Of Mice & Men.. What more do I have to say. The show was awesome. The go so hard! If you ever want to have a memorable night with some friends or break your neck from head banging so hard, then this is the show you want to be at! Of Mice & Men will always leave you wanting " .. One more song!" YaDiG!?
I only went to see O&M...they were incredible..they singing was great. Austin was great...During the song 'Product of a Murderer' Austin jumped in the crowd...his whole right side landed on my head and he happen to knee me...and yes he busted my nose. I didn't care..so bad ass...i got epic pictures an hope to see them again for the 13th time very very very soon.
As for as the openers go, they were are good performers if you enjoy their music. There was a ton of energy and the crowd was into everything that was going on. I personally can't stand I Wrestled A Bear Once but many people at the venue were into them. I came from Jacksonville FL, driving 4 hours for one reason. Seeing Of Mice & Men, and it was well worth it. They aren't known for technical music, they're known for catchy music, unique style, and tons of energy. They delivered on all accounts.
I have frequented many concerts and this one is up at the top. The artists were real and obtainable. They visited their fans, they took pictures, and acted like real people, not some super celeb on stage that you probably will never see in real life. The atmosphere was electric and the crowd fed off of the super pumped vibes that every band (minus Iwrestledabearonce) sent out. The vocals were great, acoustics were amazing. Of Mice and Men and I See Stars were particularly amazing. Both played great songs, interacted with the crowd and sounded amazing. I will try to see as many shows, with these two bands, as I can in the near future.
This was the most epic show I've probably ever seen. I loved everything about it. All the bands were amazing (with the exception of I Set My Friends on Fire). Other than that, it was just overall amazing.
Peabody's was packed with about as many people as it could hold. The bands all sounded amazing and the show was great. One of the best shows I've been to.
audience response was impressive. acoustics sounded awesome. event staff was really friendly and interactive
LIKE OMG THAT SHOW WAS AMAZING LIKE I AM LOST FOR WORDS HOW THAT SHOW WENT. OF MICE & MEN WERE SOOO SOOO SOOO GOOD! I CANT WAIT TILL THEY COME BACK SO I CAN GO AGAIN AND SEE THEM. IT WAS SOO WORTH ME BEIN SORE FROM MOSHING
The concert was enjoyable, do not get me wrong - but the masquerade is such a closed environment. I'm quite uncertain how many people were injured, and the bands just influenced moshing. I was near the front of the stage when I was hurt, I tried to get out of the crown asap because of this. Which was also hard, tight cramped spaces - yikes.
They were SOOOOO good live, very sociable with the crowd, sounded great the whole show. Can't wait to see them again!! :)
I took my 18 year old son(who is also my vocalist) this show for his birthday. While my own tastes are a little heavier, he was blown away by all the performances! He crowd surfed, got bruised and bloody in the pit and landed on stage 3 times. As always, the sound at the Masquerade was perfect. All in all a very solid show. I would recommend this show to anyone who likes this style of music. All the bands were in top form!
